PC with Hirelings, how can i hide them

Hello!

I've build a pc with hirelings. Now, when i load the character all the hirelings are shown in the dashboard.

How can i hide them, because, they're all show in the tactical console, too.

I am not sure that you can hide them. As a GM the console can quickly get bogged with hirelings and mounts. I usually have them in a seperate profile.

Might be worth a feature request to work like Shadowrun Sprites/Vehicles/Drones/etc

I don't know the feature like SR, but a hide option will be very important.

This may be more of an indirect help, but Ultimate Campaign offers options for "Contacts"... NPCs who provide minor assistance/services. These don't appear as separate characters in the portfolio, but instead show as entries in a list in the "Social" tab for the character.

If you don't need full stats, maybe that's a more useful way to represent them?

For the first, this could temporaly help - thx

I hope, you'll make the feature request real!

My GM imports the portfolios that the player sends him, then deletes horses and animal companions (we play that mounts and such take actions on the same initiative as the hero). This keeps the tactical console from getting too busy, and the player keeps track of the statistics anyway.

It might be awkward if one of the creatures needs to make a hidden skill check since the GM won't have the info, but it hasn't come up yet.
